Is this really desirable in all cases? Channels are reselected after
having learned about the options available for the peer device in GO
Negotiation after having learned that information. This patch would
change that to skip the reselection if a locally determined best channel
was selected before knowing peer capabilities. This would sound like
something that could result in undesired group formation failures if the
peer device does not support the channel we think is best for some
reason. If the local device does not have any concurrent operations (or
support multi-channel concurrency), it could be more desirable to allow
connection to go through on a channel that works for the peer.
By the way, this is a rebased version of the patch in question against
the current hostap.git snapshot:
